chapter 31
Chapter 31 To the Wind Labyrinth (2)
Azu and the others have arrived at the Wind Labyrinth.
The area around the labyrinth was quiet.
I crossed over from the royal capital to the satellite city and came to the wind labyrinth. As I’ve heard beforehand, most of the adventurers seem to have headed for the land labyrinth.
The materials available here are in high demand among adventurers.
Just as she was about to enter the labyrinth, Alexia opened her mouth.
“I always think….”
“What is it?”
“Master, you can smell the money.”
“Is that so? I’m not sure….”
Az tilts her head.
Actually, Arzu has little experience in handling money.
She rather became close to money after she became a slave.
For Azu, money is dictated by the owner to buy things at the market or at her shop.
“Normally, I would go to the underground labyrinth without any equipment. The newly expanded labyrinth is good for profit.”
“Even now, everyone went that way.”
“That’s right. But we are in the wind labyrinth. I also checked the market price, and now this place is money.”
We entered the labyrinth while talking. The interior is bright enough that no lights are needed.
Overall, the greenish walls continued all the way to the inside.
If you walk along the passage for a long time, you will come to a small room and the passage continues again.
While we were talking, a round object came flying in the wind. Azu cut her with a single knife.
Then a green stone fell.
Az picked it up and lifted it up.
She felt the wind in her hand holding the dark green stone.
“Wow, great. The wind comes out of the stone.”
“It is a wind spirit stone. Well, it’s a mess, but….”
“I see….”
“Magic Stones or Spirit Stones are more beautiful like jewels with good quality.”
“I look forward to it.”
Az put the stone in her backpack.
“Since we are still at the entrance, the quality cannot be helped. According to prior information, magic stones and spirit stones from the 3rd floor and above seem to be actively traded. If I collect rubble, I can sell it.”
“Then, let’s keep going.”
“I will take care of the monsters, so take care of me.”
Elza leads the way.
This time, Elza has a fire-attribute shield in one of her hands.
Because of her physique and fighting style, a shield is not suitable for Arzu.
I moved by defeating ordinary monsters such as goblins and rat monsters with wind attributes.
Azu picked up a small wind magic stone and a spirit stone and put them in her backpack.
She went up to the second floor and came to a large room.
Even though it is a closed building, the wind swirls.
It was a strange place. As the name suggests, the Wind Labyrinth seems to have strong wind energy.
The monsters that appeared on the second floor were also different.
Among them, there are monsters that are very small in size.
“Ouch, what? It hurts!”
Az looked around her, but there was nothing.
But Azu was hit by something on her, and she was in pain every time.
In the end, it started spinning.
Alexia pointed at Azu with her right index finger and chanted her short spell.
Then, several small flames rose around Azu and quickly went out.
“Wow! What’s this?”
“It’s a bug monster. It’s too small to see.”
“It’s an insect….”
Arzu recalled her past memories and put on a disgusted expression.
“Well, as you just saw, it’s weak, so it only hurts a little if you leave it alone.”
“I hate bugs, especially bug monsters….”
“Az, look here.”
As Elsa held out her shield in the air, the surface of the shield caught fire.
Ashes fell to the ground.
“You were able to defeat it so easily.”
“Isn’t it fun?”
“Come on, let’s go!”
On the second floor, there were many insect monsters with the element of wind. Arzu swung her sword in half-desperation.
Azu’s sword swept through her insect monster.
A large butterfly monster came flapping in the wind.
At the moment when he was relieved that the butterfly was better, Az fell asleep while inhaling the sleeping powder.
The butterfly monster was hit by Alexia’s fireball magic and fell down while scattering powder.
“It hurts….”
I pressed the lump that Azu had while sleeping.
“I will treat you. Whoop whoop.”
“Don’t laugh, Mr. Elza.”
Az has pouted.
Elza’s miracle healed her bruises. Thanks to her, Az is freed from her pain.
“Thank you!”
“Azu is a good boy.”
“Oh no, it’s frustrating!”
Elza hugged Az.
“Well, it’s not time to rest yet.”
Alexia clapped her hands and urged.
Whenever the butterfly monster appeared, Azu cut it right away, so her damage was gone.
“What?”
“Az, what’s going on?”
After Azu defeated several of her butterfly monsters with her single sword, she stood around holding a small wind magic stone. Alexia, who saw that, spoke to her.
“That… I feel connected to the sword. Why is this?”
“Oh, I thought that would happen soon, but the growth rate is fast as expected.”
Alexia admires.
On the other hand, Az was confused by her strange feeling.
“It’s because the magic power is beyond the standard. Until now, there was so little that I couldn’t even put magic into the sword, but that increased. Congratulation.”
“Good job!”
“Is that so?”
“Perhaps the power of the sword has increased. It’s on the third floor, so let’s try cutting it.”
Azu nodded her head with a knowing expression.
Anyway, I’m glad I got stronger. She will be able to provide more help to her master.
